Timeframe

Barring any technical issues, we can help get your film onto iTunes and Amazon Watch Instantly in approximately 60-120 days from the delivery of your assets. We can also have your film pitched to curated platforms, such as Hulu and Google Play. For a coordinated release between platforms, The Film Collaborative recommends a 5-6 month timeframe.

Term.

Renewable two-year term.

Territories

For iTunes, Territories include U.S., Canada, Ireland and 10 Asian countries with one English-language submission. Additional countries available with proper localization. GooglePlay is also available in Canada, UK and Australia. Other platforms generally limited to North America, although this is continually changing. Platforms can also be chosen à la carte, including a foreign-only DIY release. Please see our territories page for more informaion. UK, Australia and New Zealand can be included, but now require official ratings from the respective film boards in those territories.

Fees

Filmmaker pays only flat-fees and shipping costs to and from the encoding house. 100% revenue generated from the platforms goes to the filmmaker

Additional Cost Considerations

Other lab services can be added to this deal. For example, a closed captioning file is now required for all digital distribution in the U.S. (Price is calculated based on the film’s running time, but a 90-minute film is approximately around $500-$900.) This service can be added to the deal as a separate add-on service. Some territories, such as UK, Australia, New Zealand and others, now require an official rating from the respective film boards in that territory for placement on iTunes.-->
